Lyme Disease Support Group

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. It is now one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the U.S. Lyme disease is caused by infection with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, and is primarily transmitted to humans as well as dogs, horses and other domesticated animals by the bite of infected ticks.

Does Lyme disease have anything to do with the lungs. I am thinking it may have something to do with t. My doctor is saying Pulmonary hypertension, they also said I had Hodgkins Lymphoma, I am still thining it came from tick bite I had every symptom but blood test came back neg, but I hear they do most of the time. Can anyone help with this?

Did you have your tests done at Igenex? Tests done there are 'better' but can still produce negative results while the patient does have Lyme. That was my case. Igenex Western Blots neg or indeterminate but proven positive by spinal tap. ---- I'm not suggesting that you or anyone have a spinal tap done because the chances are very good that, even though the person has Lyme, a spinal tap can still be negative. I'd explain further but let's get on with your question.

It's not known if you actually have Lyme or not---- but it's likely. Let's go under the assumption that you do have Lyme.

Lyme disease can and does affect every body system in a persons body so it's not a stretch to think that it can affect the lungs. There are many case studies that prove that Lyme and pulmonary problems are linked.

Were you dx'd with 'Hodgkins Lymphoma' or "non-Hodgkins Lymphoma"
The second is very common with Lyme. The first may or may not be. I'm hoping for the second dx for you. However, the true Hodgkins can be treated.
